&lt;p&gt;The time has come that i have been dreading for months, my beloved dad has gone,and i feel my heart has been ripped out, all my friends in chat have been with us helping,supporting, caring,advising, just being there when needed, when ever i switched on someone was there,i could not have done this without the support i have recieved from the special friends i have made.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;While we sat at home waiting for the GP and nurses to turn up i had all my family with me and i had to come and sign in to &amp;quot;chat&amp;quot; not to chat but just to have you with me as now you are part of my family and needed you to be with me at this time just knowing you were there was comforting,and i know you will remain there as long as i need you,and in return i hope i have been and will continue to support others.i think only the people that use this site can understand the special bond we all have and i thank&amp;nbsp; each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LOVE YOU ALL&lt;/p&gt;
